: REV), announced today that its wholly-owned operating subsidiary An operating subsidiary is a business term frequently used within the United States railroad industry. In the case of a railroad, it refers to a company that is a subsidiary but operates with its own identity and rolling stock. , Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("RCPC See Regional Check Processing Center. "), plans to refinance its existing credit agreement as part of the Company's overall plans to improve cash flow and strengthen its balance sheet and capital structure.

As part of the refinancing, RCPC expects to refinance and replace its existing $800 million term loan with a new 5-year $840 million term loan facility (the "2006 Term Loan Facility") and amend its existing $160 million multi-currency revolving credit Revolving Credit

 facility and extend its maturity through the same 5-year period (the "2006 Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the 2006 Term Loan Facility, the "2006 Credit Facilities"). It is expected that the 2006 Term Loan Facility would be secured by substantially the same collateral package and guarantees that secure RCPC's existing term loan facility and the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility will continue to be secured by its existing collateral package and guarantees.

While there can be no assurances that the 2006 Credit Facilities will be finalized and closed, if RCPC completes this refinancing, the Company believes that it will result in annual interest savings due to expected lower interest margins, provide the Company with greater financial and other covenant flexibility and extend the maturity dates of RCPC's existing bank credit agreement.

RCPC expects to use the proceeds of the 2006 Credit Facilities to repay in full the approximately $800 million of outstanding indebtedness (plus accrued interest Accrued Interest

RCPC expects to close and fund the 2006 Credit Facilities in late December 2006. Consummation of the 2006 Credit Facilities transactions is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, among other things, the execution of definitive documentation, perfection of security interests in collateral and that Revlon launch a rights offering for at least $100 million in equity securities (although the 2006 Credit Facilities are not conditioned upon the consummation of such rights offering).
